New Zealand based Dubstep producers Andre Fernandez and Tristan Roake who are better known as Truth bring us a couple of gems on the young Get Darker label. The A side 'Direct Blow' begins with a sense sublime suspense achieved through distant echoes of mythical sirens and growing elements of percussion; the drop hits with bass heavy weight and the chant of "Get you with my direct blow". The bass slices of this club banger are instantly energising and are cleverly countered with returns to the melodic intro, to create a suprising yet relentless sense of flow. On the flip 'Snake' takes the deeper role. Again Truth emphasise the intro; 'Snake' presents itself with a precision use of percussive elements creating space and depth foreshadowing the direction of the tune. The bass element of the composition opens with an interesting panning b-line that continues throughout the rest of the piece (the low end vibe is the real impetus throughout the song). This weighty bass-line contrasts with the mid-range violin melody to create a sense of beauty rising through darkness. Definitely feeling the flip on this one.
